Yes, that is correct. I transferred the funds from EUR to GBP account and in that transaction line in the GBP account I'm attempting to do a split and it's prompting me about currency conversion. As suggested above I could just do a separate line in the GBP Bank Charges expense account but my preference is to split as it shows where the charge is inherited from.
